Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura were granted statehood on January 21, 1972, following the enactment of the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971. The Act reorganised the northeastern region, granting statehood to Manipur and Tripura, while Meghalaya was carved out of Assam owing to its distinct geographical and cultural identity.
The three states continue to play a significant role in strengthening India’s cultural diversity, strategic importance and development journey.
